  1. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    I grabbed the Blue, BM, 20" brights, which was our config and $3k cheaper! Pretty excited to be a 2 Rivian household. FWIW, the quote we got from Rivian insurance with slightly better coverage was cheaper than our current Farmers by $100. Assuming it is in Normal and we'll be waiting for a...
  2. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Dude, tell me about it. My wife is making fun of me big time....and it will be her car!
  3. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    It has to be a different shop as I was compulsively checking the shop all morning and didn't see anything.
  4. When will Rivian admit that avoiding AA/Carplay is not about providing "better" UX?

    I had it on a Discovery and multiple rental cars.....and I just don't understand why people would want CarPlay. I actually have a Rivian unlike the OP and MUCH prefer it vs the CarPlay. Maybe I've got low expectations, but the CarPlay has made me want to punch the screen and I have never felt...
  5. 21" to 20" wheels switch -- never-ending drama

    I just realized I never provided a final update. The SC did quickly fix the suspension fault and recalibrated the wheel size at no charge. With the updates, the massive amount of snow and cold weather, I can't really tell what any of that has done to the range other than.....it has been much...
  6. Rivian confirms no Meridian Sound System in my R1S. It has in-house audio system

    Do you really have 2 Rivians or are you just another troll? Seems like if you hated the company that much, you wouldn't have gone through with a 2nd purchase. Is my truck perfect? No! Is it the best vehicle I've ever driven? Hell yes! Can I wait to get my R!S? Hell no!
  7. Snow performance check-in....focus on tires.

    Andy, which Blizzaks did you get? I was pretty unimpressed with the Nokians I had on the r1t vs the Blizzaks I had on my discovery, but it could be just the additional weight of the Rivian.
  8. Snow performance check-in....focus on tires.

    Thanks for the advice, but I know all that. Maybe my post wasn't clear, but I now have a massive winter under my belt and have driven the 21's with the Pirelli Verdes, the 20 Pirelli AT's and then nokian hakkapeliitta lt3's. I thought it might be useful and would definitely like to hear what...
  9. Snow performance check-in....focus on tires.

    I am interested in how those who live in snow areas have fared thus far. I live in Tahoe and have had my R1T since August. I got mine out of the shop with 21's with the hope that Rivian would offer 20's in the gear shop or someone would make snow tires for the 21's. So here is how my snow...
  10. Rated X: Full Frontal Cybertruck

    I was driving a co-worker to lunch way back when and we saw one of the first Azteks and he said "Ugh, that thing is so ugly it makes me want to punch the designer". I've never seen one since that didn't make me giggle a bit. We've lost touch, but I can only imagine what he'd have to say about...
  11. Charging in Mammoth Lakes, CA

    My kids had a mtb race in Mammoth in October and ran into the same issue, but driving from Tahoe. There's an EA station in Bridgeport that ended up working fine on the way there and back. I was worried I'd have to drive to Bishop and back to charge, but it wasn't necessary. How full did you...
  12. Rivian regenerative braking versus Tesla, standard regenerative braking comparison?

    My R1T is in the shop and they rented me a Nissan Armada. I almost crashed the first time that I approached a stop sign in the Armada. I left off the accelerator and nothing happened....I'm like "what the hell is wrong with this thing?" before I remembered that I actually have to use the...
  13. Very disappointing snow experience

    I think you might have a bad one, mine is fine....if anything, it is stronger than any vehicle I've owned.
  14. 21" to 20" wheels switch -- never-ending drama

    Quick update. What I assume to be an unrelated suspension issue has me on what I'm hopeful of resolution of the wheel size issue.....with no $$ charged. I started getting a suspension needs service message that eventually escalated to a performance degradation message w/ a 51mph governor...
  15. 21" to 20" wheels switch -- never-ending drama

    Yeah, my speed seems to be dead on accurate now, which I prefer. Thanks for the info and advice.
  16. 21" to 20" wheels switch -- never-ending drama

    Thanks. I am primarily concerned about performance in the snow. Some have suggested that wheel size is factored into traction control. I've had a few unexpected issues thus far in snow. I know snow mode is coming, but living in a place where we can get 3+ feet of snow in a day like we did...
  17. 21" to 20" wheels switch -- never-ending drama

    No, I'm keeping the 21's. My wife is waiting for a R1S that is configured w/ 20's. I plan to put the 21's on the R1S (hoping they have sorted this wheel change nonsense out by that time). I'll take her 20's for my summer tires and swap them back/forth myself. Hopefully, someone will make some...
  18. 21" to 20" wheels switch -- never-ending drama

    I took an R1T from Rivian Shop w/ 21" wheels in order to get it sooner. It's been great, but I knew that I needed a winter solution (I live in Tahoe), so when the 20" wheels with the AT's became available, I purchased a set. An appt was set up and the tech delivered them, but couldn't install...
